Apples are usually better in graphic designing, where as the PC is better for everything else. :)

Well, I think what I mean is the Mach's & IBM's G series are the best for Graphical Design.

HEY :no:  the ram voltages, dont you 2.6 not 1.6 ??
They say that the 130Nm core at at the end of their days, the 90 3200 is one of the best Ive tested, with a 25% overclock their pretty sweet 260FSB HTT 4X on a NF4X4 as it just will not boot at 3X  :guh:  I really dont know what going on there?? 1.55 Vcore BTW and all other sys volts were up .2Volts

The intel with its +50% over clock, you must take into account that the intel against the 2.6 Ghz FX need to run @5.2 Ghz, so saying that, a \"slower\" AMD with a lower overclock would be better? agreed?

well the DFI will do 3.1 volts on ram . If your board isnt unlocking it. Its ram or faulti board or bios. My PC 4000 will not work on anything lower than 2.8 Volts.

Apples.

They are not the best thing now for rendering work, test showed that the PC was better :D

It wold be nice to see some benches from them just to know how GOOD the PC's (IBM's) are.

For video rendering and photo-editing, Apple is the best. Apple's PowerMac G5 processor is built using IBM's architecture.

Well, I did see Apples with half the speed beat out any Intel with double the speed. But  then again, Apples use AMD's HTT. That could be the reason  ;)
